Math does not come easy to me, and he was able to explain everything in a way I could understand. He is very patient and is always willing to work with you if you dont understand anything. He grades fairly, just make sure you study and youll do just fine.

Comment:
This guy is just plain boring and hard to keep up with before you know it he is on the next question and hasn't explained in detail what he did to solve the problem. Throwing the students a huge amount of theorems and overloading his students instead of breaking down the problem and showing why he got that answer.

Professor Presa is a great professor above all. He cares about his students and if you're willing to show up and try to understand, he's very helpful and lenient toward your exams. He was very clear and knowledgable in math. DO THE REVIEWS FOR THE EXAM AND YOU WILL PASS.

Great Professor! Tests are really hard but if you ask him for help he will help you. Very time consuming class, if you don't study you will not pass. No reviews for tests, but professor gives extra credit questions for each exam. 4 exams, 1 online and mandatory cumulative final exam. Professor really cares about his students grades!

he overwhelms you with the amount information he gives. There are no reviews and there are some extra credit but the level of explanation to get that extra credit for 3 points . test are multiple choice but then he adds a truth or false in math . then there are the ones you have to write . only certain calculators. expensive class & 100 course co

Comment:
He's an OK professor, ver fair, but his tests are tricky. You have to do the homework several times to do good on his class. He's got a strong accent, but he easy to understand. He's kind of confusing, so you have study a lot on your own. 3 tests and a cumulative final, he will drop the lowest grade, plus online homework for extra credit.

This Professor is amazing! Drop the lowest grade. I recommend taking him for the Summer, gives you plenty of time to finish homework. Give you many chances to bring up your grade.

I took this class three years back and although Math is neither my strong nor my favorite subject I ended up with an A. As long as you are in class everyday, do your homework, and study you will be fine. Very nice as a person too! A bonus ;)

He is a really nice guy, but I didn't like his teaching at all. He sends you an email with all the problems, and that's how he starts teaching the class. If you are good with math, then I think you can actually do well, I found mots of the other students had some knowledge with pre-calc and trig which helped them a lot I would say... Good luck!

I took had him for 3 lectures, that's how long it took to drop him. He was just too slow for me. Doesn't seem interested in the class and is just very boring. I dreaded having to go to his class. Keep in mind I'm actually great in math, I took the exact same class with another professor and got an A

He could be a great teacher, but he doesn't teach. He just does homework problems with you, but with different numbers. He's a fair grader though and will give a good amount of partial credit. My advice is to get exams from previous classes. I did, and it was extremely helpful as he repeats questions. His tests are short and really hard, so study!

The exams are extremely similar to the problems on coursecompass. Do your hw over before each exam. Also, if you have the book, expose yourself to problems there as well. All in all, great professor.

Worst professor I have ever had in math, he goes really fast and doesn't care about students, I took him in mac2311 and even though I consider my self good in math Im not doing well in his class, even doing all the h.w the tests are different and really difficult, I don't recommend him. 4 test - 1 drop and the final. Believe me Do not Take Him!

He's somewhat a good professor. Goes too fast at times. Loves it when students participate and you get extra points. Tests are 10 questions but theyre hard and he doesnt give reviews not even for the final. if your an honor student like me you might finish with an A if not dont make your life harder with this man.

I loved math ever since High School. Now after taking this guy, I love it even more. He made Pre-Cal/Trig very cool. Amazing teaching style. Please practice as many problems as you can because his tests are very straight forward. You won't get more than 15 questions on any exam throughout the semester. Highly recommended professor for math lovers.

He's great because he takes his time explaining everything, making sure you know something thoroughly before moving on. Yes, his accent is thick and will make you laugh, but you'll understand it. 1 week in you won't even notice. Phenomenal teacher overall, doesn't give more than you can handle and is very kind.

Horrible Teacher!DON'T TAKE! he will make you buy the book and you won't ever use it!!!! Unless you plan to be a mathematician you won't pass this class with a descent grade. I always have been good at math but this guy is out of control! he teaches way too fast and tests are hard! IF YOU CAN TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER, THEN DO SO
